BOOOOO!!!!

Thanks Ted! I know we signed Smith, but come on, we need help at NT. Igor would have been a great fit.

At the same time though, suppose that Capers thinks Malone is better than Olshansky (plausible, based on Capers' comments). Would you want to pay 4.5 million a year for a backup?

i still have a hard time believing a guy thats never done anything in his carrer and has hardly seen the field is going to all of a sudden be our starter at DE this year

theres a reason team after team has passed on him, and reasons why he's always been stuck on the practice squad

plus, why not spend 4.5 million for a backup? we don't need to keep finding creative ways to spend 30 million every year and find ways to roll it over to the next year

This is his fourth year in the league, and he's only been with two teams. As some people who spell doom and gloom about the DL like to point out, these guys take some time to develop. The flip side of that is "sometimes a guy who hasn't done much, will step up."

Also, there's some compelling reasons to not sign Olshansky.

[KYPack]

Igor was a mixed bag, that for sure. He had a lot of heat with his teammates, who largely regarded the guy as a self-absorbed asshole. '07 was a pretty good year for him and he was poised to have a great year going into to FA.

A new DC got fired mid-way thru the season. New DC, Ron Rivera didn't get into all the mental reasons for Olshansky's play, he just benched him. '08 was largely a disaster for the boy.

All in all, I think the guy was too high priced, but maybe Dallas got themselves an OK deal

God, I hope not.

Yes, but Cole is a beastman. Why else would he get almost 22 million for 5 years? Err....I wanted to say something witty, but...why did he get that? Cole is A1Yola Crapola. Thank the lord we didn't give him $1 million a year. That dude and his bud Montgomery are useless.

Snake is happy other teams are blowing up their cap space with this garbage. I'm talking Cole. Igor was OK, but nothing we don't have.

Olshansky received $8 million in guaranteed money from the Cowboys. His agent informed Green Bay of this requirement to sign his client.

The Packers would have had a hard time justifying paying Olshansky $8 million guaranteed when they gave Jenkins $4 million, Nick Barnett $5.1 million and Pickett $2 million.

The Packers have some guys that are vastly underpaid according to the current market value imo. That's a good thing financially, but hopefully it isn't quietly ticking off some of the guys.

I surely hope that isn't the reason he wasn't strongly considered.

Those contracts were signed a couple of years ago, and were market value then. Those guys shouldn't get pissy about another guy getting market value now. Yes, those numbers are less than they'd get now, but they got their SB's and signed multi-year deals because they wanted to.
